Abstract (en)

A resin composition for an automobile bumper comprising components (A), (B), and (C) described below: (A) 45 to 74% by weight of a crystalline ethylene-propylene block copolymer having (a) a flexural modulus of 15,000 kg/cm<2> or more, (b) an ethylene content of 5 to 20% by weight, (c) an intrinsic viscosity (decalin, 135 DEG C) of a portion soluble in p-xylene at room temperature of 3 or more, (d) a melt flow index (MI) of 21 to 70 g/10 min., and (e) a content of a portion insoluble in boiling n-heptane of 97% by weight or more; (B) 21 to 35% by weight of elastomer selected from the group consisting of components (I), (II) and (III) and having a weight ratio of (I) : [(I) + (II) + (III)] of from 0.5 to 1.0, (a) said component (1) being an amorphous ethylene-butene copolymer having a butene content of 10 to 25% by weight and a Mooney viscosity value, (ML1+4, 100 DEG C) of 5 to 20, (b) said component (II) being an amorphous ethylene-propylene copolymer having an ethylene content of 70 to 90% by weight and a Mooney viscosity value (ML1+4, 100 DEG C) of 5 to 40, and (c) said component (III) being a hydrogenated block copolymer consisting of 10 to 40% by weight of an aromatic vinyl polymer block X and 60 to 90% by weight of a conjugate diene polymer block Y, having a structure of said block components being X - Y or X - (Y - X)n, wherein n is 1 or 2, 90 mol% or more of said block Y being hydrogenated and the melt flow index (MI) of the hydrogenated block copolymer being 5 g/10 min. (230 DEG C, 2.16 kg) or more, and; (C) 5 to 10% by weight of talc having a combustion loss of 7% by weight or less, containing no particles having a diameter of 10 mu m or more and having an average particle diameter D50 of 1.0 to 3.0 mu m.
